cause a few issues. >> why can't it be rain. >> no snow. >> no snow. . >> 8-12 inches. >> 8-12. >> yes.

house for trick-or-treaters. >> amazing. >> terrifying. it might maybe cause some people to wet their pants. >> i hope we have a long line of people that are just excited to come in. >> yikes. the haunted house will be open to trick-or-treaters on halloween. they're opening it to the public. if you want to go, we have information on our website wusa9.com. some folks say dressing up in costume is the best thing about halloween. but for derek, oh, it was always the candy. derek. >> anita, i remember well when my own dentist told me no more juji fruits. they were my favorite candy at the time but he warned they could rip out my crowns. try swedish fish or gummy bears which was a relief because i thought he was going to say no more candy and that was going to be a problem because sugary, chewy things and i go way back. at a time when all of my teeth were real and sugar babies and the ever popular gum wads known

as big buddies were still high on my list. sure, as an adult, my dentist has nicknamed me summer home as i have been paying his mortgage. still, despite the pain and all of the expense, i'm still sweet on sour patch kids. junior mints, well, they're still one of the best things about going to the movies. and as for halloween, well, you know we got to buy a few bags, you know. it's for the trick-or-treaters. it's tradition. and kids when you come to my door, please take whatever you want. just don't touch these juicy fruits. really. it's for your own good. >> i didn't know he was a juju fruit addict. >> i'm with him on the junior mints and movies. the more i look at data. >> on this weekend. >> this is consistency on this particular form store saturday, i think we're looking at a historic october storm. i think it's going to be

unbelievable. more than 2600 people are covered by a winter storm warning. >> for october. >> let's go to the graphics. if you are east of i95, this map is on our website. you can study it. i tweeted it out awhile ago. you can follow me at topper's weather. if you are south and east of 95, very little to worry about. you'll probably see snow. i think you'll see a brief period of snow all the way down into southern maryland as the rain comes to an end tomorrow evening. but west of 95, that includes the district and fairfax. now, just north of that from gaithersburg up to loudoun county, we're talking 3-6 inches. it's going to be very difficult to measure this because it's not going to accumulate unless you go way in the mountains. but grasses, grassy surfaces and the trees, that's what we're worried about. six inch bulls-eye cumberland right along the maryland-pa border into oakland and perhaps a little area of heavier snow around loray. so this is going to be one for

the books. and i tell you what, we're still concerned about the tree damage. i tweeted that last night. that translates into power outages. i don't care how many trees you cut, limbs are going to come down. critical time saturday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. power outages because the leaves are on the tree. thunder snow is likely. this is an incredibly dynamic system. lower visibility of 400 feet and put down snowfall. it will snow faster than it will melt. many of us will not get below freezing. we will tomorrow night but not tomorrow afternoon. so there are the advisories for montgomery county. there are the warnings loudoun county and frederick county. temps are already in the upper 30s. 39 in gaithersburg. 43 downtown. already 39 in manassas. temps aren't going to go up tomorrow. look at this, this is from virginia just southwest of winchester on the other side of

i81. it's all snow up there. they already have about a quarter inch on the picnic table. all right. this is all rain across the metro area. this is your mixture out to either side of i81 and that is going to work its way eastward. once the storm really kraingz tomorrow, it will draw -- cranks tomorrow, it will draw in colder air and that is what is going to turn rain to snow. a severe weather alert day tomorrow. the heaviest bands will be between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. with the thunder snow. a legitimate coastal storm. this is something we would expect to see in january or february. here is the silver lining. chilly but nice on sunday. all right. next seven days, temps on sunday will be chilly but okay for the marathon. i don't think the snow will bother them at all. 49. and then for halloween, it hasn't rained since 2002. we're going to keep that streak alive. temperatures in the mid 50s. a little chilly but not bad. then we're looking at temperatures in the upper 60s by thursday and then low 50s by

friday. average high is 65. >> we can't believe this. >> yes. >> historic. the snow may be on the way, but if you're a marine, you're probably thinking bring it. sunday is the 36th annual marine corps marathon and those that signed up will be running through our area for 26.2 miles. and the only thing that would cause the marines to postpone the run is if it would pose a harm to any of the runners. if not, they have a plan for old mother nature. >> i looked at the weather and i was like, oh, my god, i've been running in la where it's warm. i went to the storm and i bought warmer clothes. >> that was comedian and price and right host drew carey. he'll be running out there on sunday. it's his first marathon. hang in there, drew. >> that's great. i did it last year. got to love it. >> you're something. all right. not really. david is up next with sports. i'm just getti

all right. welcome back, everybody. consider this an official

rebuilding project. maryland's randy epsel probably feels like singing a few lines from the talking head song how did i get here. they returned 14 startsers, the terps did, yet went from 9-4. all of a sudden they're 2-5. tomorrow bc comes to town and they're worse off than maryland. if they lose, except epsel to -- expect epsel to get hotter. so, hey, coach, let's hear from you. >> when adversity strikes and you don't win as much as you would like to win, there is only two things you can do. you can either sauk about it and get upset or you can go out there and work hard and continue to improve. >> and let's see what they do. prep football week nine is here. the top two teams in northern virginia dogs and cats in a 3-point nail biter. administering last

whenever paul 6th is in the poll, expect a large voter turnout. it happened last season. this year they went heavy on the mouse clicks again, combined with the students from st. mary's. 19,000 voted for their game. let's get there. 10675. their fax for the game of the week. panthers defense. panther power. o'brien, oh, oh, oh. hit me. shawn o'brien, there goes the hammer. pvi with an early lead. but the night is not laying down. sake with the keeper. st. mary's hanging in there. but the panthers just a little too tough. sweeps the
